Ok so a diff path then my previous post.I also wanted to invest in real estate but just assume( and bet is probably true) that most of the people that find truly good investments have  either or all of the following the most "average joes" don't:1.

We do want to settle in a little bit here while continuing to do our homework, but hope to get into something in the next 6-12 months.With the way interest rates are looking now and what little I see on public listings, I think a smaller multi-family that needs a little rehab would be the best bet. 

2) I bet you could draw that same or even more extreme graph for new car prices.

@Justin Goodin One question Melanie brought up that I'm confused on is about your ownership of One18 Place, as claimed here: https://web.archive.org/web/20240528134524/https://nextlevel...I unfortunately had to go look this up in the Web Archives, because it appears that your previous site, www.nextlevelequity.com, is no longer active.

Speaking of DSCR in particular, 80% will likely be your best bet versus 85%.

We have a development coming up for approval with the county adding over 100 units bordering our small town and you can bet everyone that lives in our town is upset about it. in the end though, the planning commissions in our area tend to follow the letter of the law so to speak, so if there is nothing in ordinance barring it, they will approve, generally.

I was once told jokingly that we bet on the jockey, not the horse.Next comes the property.

Your best bet is in the midwest or southeast.

Your best bet would be to connect with local operators and ask them.

I don't know how long you have owned it but I am willing to bet if you have owned it for at least a few years you probably have a rate on that property that will be hard to get again.
